Stories from the road less traveled presented with a good dose of humor. I love it.

By far the best podcast for pre-Norman British History. Even though 99% of the Roman and Anglo-Saxon ages do not exist in pop-culture, this podcast still makes you feel like you are encountering an incredible story. You don't even care anymore that you're not onto the famous kings & queens yet, because the stories preceding them are so engrossing. The podcast always takes a critical look at everything, and clearly explains what evidence that does and does not exist, which is refreshing in comparison to pop-history that just wants to make a statement on toughness or honor or other such moralistic messages.

I love this podcast so much! It caught my attention with the Vikings to Anglo-saxon tie in as I was finishing up watching the 4th season of Vikings (from the History Channel). Jaime has a talent for relating historical information into great story telling!

History is exciting enough by itself, but Jamie's intelligent and humorous presentation style make the stories of our past both real and entertaining.

Very informative and well done. Just found this podcast a few weeks ago and just about to hit episode 90, so I’m still in 2013 so no spoilers! Keep up the good work.

The finest of fine grain studies into God's own isle.

Getting into the weeds of British history, Jamie delves deep into original sources and secondary ones. In the end his history is truly a story- never boring, always well thought out and fascinating. History the way it should always be taught.

Thoroughly researched, quite in the academic style but much more enjoyable. A jewel impossible to miss.

As a Yank, I find a better understanding of the world and of my homeland by understanding the evolution of this sceptered isle through this program. This podcast is going to take you in to British history in the most meaningful way possible. This is the ultimate in edutainment. Its fun, fascinating and occasionally hilarious.

This is the best podcast I've ever listened too. Still catching up. Only shortly past episode 100. Just took my first quiz. Plus! I'm also a Portlander, so i get all the references!

Great show, engaging and well researched. Shines a light on periods you either didn't know about, or only thought you did.

Thanks for this AMAZING podcast, I found it yesterday and I'm caught up until Legion IX and Hadrian building his wall in Britannia. British history is great, thanks for starting from the Roman Rule, makes the daily work commute much much better! Thank you again!

Great podcast, massive detail and thorough research. So much work goes in I'm in awe.

Also curious about what happened to the Decode the News podcast with Zee. It was great for a few episodes, very helpful in putting all that crazy stuff into context, then stopped without any explanation I can find.

I binge-listen to this podcast when I cannot sleep... eventually, my brain gets so overloaded with info, that I conk out! Love it!

Best PODCAST!!! Great delivery, analysis of an era, time, and of course epic battles.

Awesome Podcast. Informative, funny and told with flair! How can you fault a history podcaster who admits to enjoying Supernatural and thinks Point Break is a modern classic (I’m paraphrasing... but it is). Clearly Jamie’s a bloke with extremely great taste and a lot of intelligence and his Podcast (produced with the excellent co-producer Zee) is first rate! I binged the first two years of podcasts and now I impatiently await each new instalment and listen on the app. Love that there’s an app!

I love the attention to the normal, the everyday, the lives and cultures that existed alongside the “great men” of history.

But by far the best bit is the attention women get. “50% of your ancestors were women, aren’t you curious about them?” Yes I bloody well am and Jamie makes sure they aren’t edited out of his retelling for which I salute him and his co-producer. About time women took their place, not in a separate Podcast but alongside the boys... where they’ve always been.

Keep it up Jamie & Zee, you are awesome.

I’ve been listening for years (basically from the beginning) and find every episode just as interesting and intriguing as the last. Jamie does such a wonderful job of packing in so much detail and analysis (which I love as a detail orientated person) without it feeling too much...also it’s pretty funny and light hearted to! I finally signed up for a membership today and have been binging the members only content, which I can now say gives so much more context and detail. If you’re a history buff, I highly recommend this podcast �

I'm a painter, so work becomes insanely dull with just music and my thoughts. Thankfully, I found this podcast recently and I'm slowly catching up. Well maybe not slowly since I listen to at least 5 episodes a day. I love how much detail Jamie goes into each episode, as it really breaths life into each actor in history. Actors who sadly we don't know much about and are seldom viewed as more than names and dates. I recommend this to any history fan.

I love this way of learning history! It's like a conversation with a passionate friend. I'm only to episode 175, but I can't wait to get caught up!

Someone recommended I start listening to podcasts for my 40+ minute commute to work. So where does my search for the perfect podcast take me? The British History Podcast! Your storytelling style delivery and your extensive research into each podcast has me in awe. Thank you so much for making what would normally be considered the low point in my day (commuting) into something so very enjoyable! :-)

Though well researched and very through in their approach to history starting from the earliest known times in Britain, Jamie and Zee are just flat out entertaining. You'll learn about Britons, Druids, North Men, Romans and much much more. I heartily recommend becoming a member. When people demonstrate this degree of both passion and craft, they deserve to be rewarded - and the members episodes range from very good to genuinely fantastic.

Very entertaining, very informative very cool. This guy knows his stuff, but never comes across as a know it all. Good stuff.

While searching for a podcast to listen to that would give me more information on the Anglo-Saxons and help with the other stuff that was left out of The History of English Podcast and I stumbled onto this gem. Informative, fun, interesting and whatnot. I cannot recommend this highly enough. I've gone through 120 episodes in the last week.

I'm on episode 8, and if this was a book I'd say "I couldn't put it down." Thanks for making history (something I've always loved) so entertaining!

I love this podcast! Unfortunately I cannot afford to be a member (ZAR do not stretch as far as US$) but I have listened to every single episode. I found it by accident last year and the gaps (read gaping great holes) in my knowledge of English history, which was not part of the curriculum of South African schools, has grown exponentially with each episode. I love the quirky factoids dropped here and there and the easy listening style of the podcast. The depth and breadth of the research is evident in each episode. Thank you so much for hours and hours of listening pleasure!

He dives deep ,and is consistently interesting. I can't wait to see what he'll make of periods with more documentation.

Incredible podcast! Very interesting and informative. Jamie does a great job of telling a story that anybody can listen to & enjoy!

This is the only podcast I'm consistent about and for good reason. I love history, and this is good for anyone interested in that, or just wants to hear a good story (because the host is fantastic on that as well).

One of my absolute favourite podcasts. Learning so much about the period that I did not know. Look forward to many more.

This is a very informative and entertaining podcast. Wish all my history teachers had been this entertaining.

Easily the most scholarly and historically nuanced podcast I've yet heard, while also hilarious.

I'm only up to the 14th one but has been great listening to a hugely neglected part of our history. Only a few hundred more to listen to which isn't too shabby.

One of the most comprehensive British history podcast out there. Well-researched yet unpretentious, this is the cream of the crop. If you like history, you have to listen to this podcast.

The best thing about the BHP is the attention to social context. It's great to learn about history from the perspective of the little guy too, not just the dates, place names, and rulers.
